[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. I’m also hesitant about old houses due to safety concerns with young kids. Lead paint, asbestos, lead pipes, mold, low railings, large window panes that aren’t safety glass, etc. I used to live in an old home right before I had kids and went through a lead paint remediation process that was a PITA. I do love old homes for other people, thry’re just not for me.[/quote] At least the dangers of these things are well known by now and for the most part not that big of a deal if left undisturbed. I think it’s naive to assume there aren’t equally toxic/dangerous things in new construction that we just don’t know about yet. I’ll take a (well cared for) old house any day.[/quote]
